I agree the bass needs to come up. Some backup vocals would really take it to another level.

Vocals and guitar recorded beautifully. Drums not so much. Snare needs tuning. I thought I heard a bass come in near the beginning but it sure got lost. I would separate a little more, sounds a bit bunched up in the middle. And don't think bass always has to be in the center. I often slide...

You have a lot of attitude advice already but for future reference: Get a di box that has more of preamp/tone shaping capable. That buzz may be annoying but quite possible you wouldn't hear it on the recording--but if you did, need to fix it. EQ is not the only way to get definition. Learn...

My mixes sound great on my computer and my sound system wasn't expensive at all. That being said, I NEVER try to make my music sound good for computer speakers.

To me if your budget, and your space, can handle bigger, get bigger than 5in. But lots of folks like me have to deal with a small room, and not acoustically ideal. So I have these JBL's that do struggle with the low end, but it's all I can deal with at home. Volume is not an issue, should not...

Man I hate to beat a dead horse because others have already said my same thoughts. But we see it repeatedly here that people want to use their eyes more than ears. I also do not believe in cookie cutter how to's. That being said, there is something I do that is visual but serves a purpose. I...

Only the master was cut by the needle, or multiple masters. From the master the mass production was by pressing the vynl with a reverse image which was the only way to be accurate.

My favorite way is outside about a foot out and build an iso shell around it with thick blankets. The control you have later in the mix is great.

Your title, punch, isn't the same as, sit in the mix. But note that bass frequencies chew up space and therefore compressor processing. Make sure you are not to close to the mic--this enhances the bass and your peaks.

RAM, all the RAM you can afford and yes, processor speed. For multi tracks and plugin fx recording isn't the issue it's the playback of all the tracks.

You're talking about something that's taste. If you record guitar in stereo but end up panning different guitar parts left and right there's no reason for recording in stereo. You will find that for a sparse mix ie one guitar bass etc stereo is OK. If you have several instruments mono is...

Dont forget eq. Here is a trick I use. Copy your track with the strongest snare. One one track find the frequency the snare is in. Bring that frequency down so you hear a dramatic volume change. Using your faders bring the original strong track down all the way, then bring up until you hear...

I think these responses show it depends on the goal. If your a songwriter intent on showcasing the "song" then I can see using it. If you fancy yourself more on the performer side then it's cheating.

A nice thick blanket draped over the icky and mic will also iso the kick.

Because on a compressor if you have a soft knee or low ratio the sound is attenuated in a softer manner, no matter the attack release. The reason you get better snare Crack on the limiter is because it goes through to the limiter threshold at full volume before hitting the wall. For a...

And btw this goes back to mixing. Bleed or not the drums can still sound good that way. So if you mix around the drums, drums up, bring all else up around them just to still hearing all of the drums. If some drums are too loud, I rather bring those down that the other way.

This means happy or not your mix isn't. One thing you can do is you can identify which track is spiking and put a compressor or limiter on that track so it's peaks are tamed before hitting the master output.

First I do not compare my masters to ANYTHING. I go strictly by is the output short of clipping, is it not pumping, is the mix right...all in the ears. I have read in other forums about music streaming sites compressing etc, and as somebody else pointed out, data yes, but no evidence of...

You can't go by the wave form. If the clipping is recorded it's there period. All a software could do is filter it some. Rerecord it. But also make sure you don't have a plugin that could be clipping. Because that would be post the preamp but not recorded until you render your output.
